One Down, One To Go

Two strikes...one on the West coast, one on the East coast. 'Tis the season to have contract disputes, I suppose.

While Hollywood will have to wait until December 4th for more negotiations, the Great White Way is now aglow with footlights once again.

Late on November 28th, the League of American Theatres and Producers and the stagehands' Local One, IATSE union, came to a tentative agreement. The Broadway shows which had been shuttered since November 10 were finally able to go on for the first time, this evening.

Anyone who's lucky enough to be in Times Square tomorrow, should head over to the Marriott Marquis for a noon concert, to celebrate the end of the strike.

And...for those of you who won't be in Times Square...go see a show anyway. ;)
